Preferences not saved

[jhemz]

I just bought WhiteCap. Have WinXP, WinMedia player version 11.05...

I turn "set New Color Scheme Every" (or back ground or wave form) to "slide show off". When I close the player and re-enter, it resets to the default. Every time.

I can go into the preferences directory (C:\Documents and Settings\Jef\Application Data\SoundSpectrum\WhiteCap) and open Preferences (Windows Media Player).txt and see the settings. They don't get saved when I close, and if I change them manually in the file to some other setting, they get reset to the defaults when I reopen WhiteCap.

The version of whitecap, from my info.txt file, is 5.2.1 and I just bought and down loaded it a day or two ago. It is the Gold edition.

If this is a code, problem, is there a work around, like altering something in boot.txt or Reset Prefs.txt?

Actually, it is working except it never remembers Slideshow off.

Work around:

Open "C:\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\WhiteCap\Resources\Common\PostStartup.txt" and add these lines:

SetSlideshowEnabled( CONFIG_COLORSCHEME, false );
SetSlideshowEnabled( CONFIG_BACKGROUND, false );
SetSlideshowEnabled( CONFIG_WAVESHAPE, false );

Thank you for the tip, but Slideshow still stays on, even with that .txt file you gave us. Whitecap refuses to keep SlideShow from turning on and that's all I'm trying to accomplish, a black background with no effects and no slideshow.... anyone had any luck with getting these settings to stay?

Work around:

Open "C:\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\WhiteCap\Resources\Common\PostStartup.txt" and add these lines:

SetSlideshowEnabled( CONFIG_COLORSCHEME, false );
SetSlideshowEnabled( CONFIG_BACKGROUND, false );
SetSlideshowEnabled( CONFIG_WAVESHAPE, false );

jhmex, I do not seem to have a PostStartup.txt file.

I have only the following .txt files:

Boot Finish
Boot Start
Consts
Misc Consts
Reset Prefs
Startup
